Sari-sari store operators are urged to improve their potential as part of the tourism attraction in Cebu, and provide good tourism-oriented services.


Tourism prime mover Jay P. Aldeguer said he will tap the upcoming Cebu Business Month's (CBM 2007) Entrepreneurship component event to invite interested sari-sari store owners to be active in promoting the tourism potential of Cebu.


"I know it's an ambitious thing to get the sari-sari stores involve in the tourism industry in Cebu, but we have to start mobilizing this plan now," Aldeguer said.

Intellectual Property Office director general Adrian Cristobal said that a lot of industries in Cebu depend on creativity and design capabilities, however they are hesitant to make an investment for the protection of their crafts and designs.
